UST History Society

UST History Society The official page of the UST History Society (USTHSTSOC), the official student organization for all Thomasian History students.

The UST History Society, officially recognized by the UST Office for Student Affairs in 2015, is an organization which caters the needs of students taking up the History program offered by the University of Santo Tomas- Faculty of Arts and Letters. Embodied with the University’s values of compassion, competence, and commitment, along with the Faculty’s passion for wisdom and beauty, the society commits itself in bringing awareness in the field of History through different activities and interest guilds that will gear its members towards holistic development. Moreover, the Society promotes glory, pride, and honor within its members as they endeavor in being globally-competitive professionals in the near future. LOGO
The logo itself is a Vinta, symbolizing the voyage of the students of the society in the vast Ocean, on what we refer as the field of History. The sail is primarily divided into three. The upper portion shows the colors of the University of Santo Tomas. The middle portion shows the different shades of the Society. Lastly, the lower portion shows the colors of the Faculty of Arts and Letters. Superimposed at the middle portion of the sail is the Baybayin translation of the word Kasaysayan. This symbolizes the History majors’ goal to spread awareness and consciousness to the Filipinos with regard to our own history. The hull of the boat, meanwhile, is colored black, carrying the name of the Society. It is colored such to represent the boldness of the Society—that we will be courageous enough to study History rightly and to correct the mistakes on the study of History.

St. Thomas Aquinas is known as the patron saint of students, educators, philosophers, and various Catholic institutions all over the world. Thomas’ lifetime was defined by education and the pursuit of truth, beginning from his early days in the Order of St. Benedict, mentoring under St. Albert the Great, then studying and teaching all over Europe that later made him a well-known philosopher, writer, and a Doctor of the Church.

Join us today, in the Feast of St. Thomas of Aquinas, as we look back on his lifelong journey of learning and teaching that shows us the harmony between faith and reason, the importance of truth, intellectual humility, how prayer and learning went hand-in-hand in seeking God through Thomas’ example.

Today we remember José Rizal, not just as a hero of the past, but as a voice of conscience for the present. Through words instead of weapons, he taught us that patriotism begins with critical thinking and the courage to speak truth to power. This December 30th, may we honor Rizal not only with ceremonies, but by continuing his call to love our country through justice, education, and courage. 🪶🇵🇭

On 15 December 1999, the railway route Metro Rail Transit-3 (MRT-3) was inaugurated by then-President Joseph Estrada during its early partial operational phase. This route runs along most of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) with 13 stations, from North Avenue in Quezon City, all the way to Taft Avenue, Pasay City, stretching a total of 16.9 kilometres, making it a critical and efficient means of transportation in the National Capital Region. The MRT-3 was born out of earlier mass transportation plans from the early-1970s during the Marcos administration and 1980s, and later implemented and constructed during the 1990s despite delays and the Asian Financial Crisis, entering operations by 1999 and fully operational by 2000. Join us and ride along to learn more about the origins of this key rail line in Metro Manila.
